get a copy of the book "the prop builder's Molding and Casting Handbook" by Thurston James. It will tell you everything you need to know.
I got a copy from a special effects supply shop (I live in L.A.) called Burman. Burman is also a good supply place for just about any of the materials you would need. Wes V |
